The most do-it-yourself machine we tested — how well it prints is up to you.

Torture test print.

WHILE MANY OF THE MACHINES IN THIS ROUNDUP ARE ROOTED IN THE REPRAP MOVEMENT, SeeMeCNC is still very much part of it. Their H1.1 printer kit ($189–$594) is a RepRap Huxley with a literal twist: the vertical bars have a slight bend at their ends to alter the geometry; also, SeeMeCNC uses injection-molded connectors rather than printed ones, a nice upgrade.

We want to hear from you! Share your experiences with this machine, what you like, what you don't like, where you think our test team got it wrong. We hope you’ll join in the discussion. We’d also love to see the things that you design and print out.
